Roseville family terrorized by gunman

Roseville police are looking for two young men who broke into a house in the 27000 block of Blum Street before they terrorized a family and stole their Chevrolet Trailblazer, Police Chief James Berlin said.

The incident occurred at 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

Berlin said the husband, wife and their two children were at home watching television when the two men crashed into the house through a side door. One of the men was armed with a blue steel semi-automatic handgun and demanded the keys to the family’s car.

“The family was scared because the men burst into the house armed with a gun,” Berlin said. “There wasn’t much they could do but comply.”

Berlin said the men fled from the house and haven’t been seen since.

“The entire incident occurred in just a few minutes,” Berlin said. “Fortunately no one was hurt. Fortunately these two young men just took the keys to their family car and left.”

Berlin described the men as black and 18 to 22 years old. They are 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall. The gunman wore a gray hoodie with blue jeans.

“This appears to be a random act involving a typical suburban family that was doing nothing wrong,” Berlin said. “We have no idea why they picked this family.”

Anyone with information on the theft is asked to call Roseville police (586) 775-2100, Ext. 8.
